Jack was found guilty of hitting the teenager with a gold club up to 15 times and so hard the club's head broke off. He pleaded with the judge to be lenient so that he could look after Jade and her two children. His conviction is the latest blow to reality TV star Jade, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer last month.Jade's boyfriend Jack Tweed has been jailed for 18 months / Picture: WENN Jade, who was told she had the disease while in the Indian Big Brother house, has today revealed the cancer is "advanced and life threatening". Jade told GMTV this morning that her condition was initially misdiagnosed. She said: "They did a belly scan and everything was fine, even my blood, so they said to me it was either a bad period or stress.

"I made a conscious effort to tell them that I was going away for a long period of time and they wouldn't be able to get in touch, and would that be OK. They said I was fine and I was fit and healthy. The 27-year-old said she was sent home from hospital with pain killers. Jade also claims she was not aware she was being filmed during the moment she got the heartbreaking news live on television.

Jack pleaded for a lighter sentence but was denied

She added: "I didn't know it was being filmed either, and that conversation I was having was actually to my agent, it wasn't to my doctor. "[The producers] wanted me to go out and tell everybody. I was like, 'I can’t do that, I need my family and friends to know before I just randomly say it on television.' "And it was really horrible, it was really, really hard because I had no one, at that time when you found out all you want is a cuddle or something, and I had nothing." Jade, who has two sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, three, will start cancer treatment today.--- SEE MORE PICTURES OF JADE GOODY ---
